From Dan Raphael's ESPN.com chat today (2:00 pm eastern):
Can you comment on the decision to withhold Castillo's entire purse for this fight? I think they should have waited for something like that until after the fight and that this could be a real distraction for Castillo.
[Only registered and activated users can see links] Dan Rafael: (2:04 PM ET ) This is a terrible internet rumor brought on by a Web site's awful reporting. His purse is not being held. Don't believe everything you read on sites that are not professionally run.

Many here rag on Dan Raphael of ESPN.com, but he's known for being more of a boxing reporter rather than analyst. That being said, fightnews.com still has the report up, and they're one of the better-recognized sites out there. Has anyone seen this reported anywhere else?
